Event Description

Hummingbirds - native only to the Americas - and plants that depend upon
them for pollination have co-evolved over thousands of years. Come to
Science Cafe on December 6 to learning more about them. Ms. Marcy Scott,
local birder, botanizer, and author of the definitive book, Hummingbird
Plants of the Southwest, will share from her extensive research and
experience. She will provide fascinating insights into the
mutualistically symbiotic relationships among some dozen hummingbird
species and more than one hundred plants of the Southwest.
Science Cafe is presented by the NMSU Chapter of Sigma Xi, the Scientific
Research Honor Society, in cooperation with the City of Las Cruces Museum
of Nature and Science. The discussions are FREE and presented to advance
greater public understanding and appreciation of contemporary science and
its practical applications. For further information, phone: 575-522-3120
